Concert Series

LJPC’s Concert Series SEASON 66 to Launch Soon!

Our Season 65 Finale in June featured the combined choirs of La Jolla and Solana Beach Pres Churches. Our two home concerts were followed by a memorable Music Ministry tour to the bedrock of the Presbyterian faith in North America – Eastern Canada: Nova Scotia (New Scotland), Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island. What a joyful time of sharing God’s love through the gift of music.

Our combined choirs and instrumental ensembles were excited to convey a sense of unity and love through the healing gift of art. Repertoire included uplifting anthems, inspiring hymns, good ol’ gospel, and the stirring choral trilogy, DIVINE ENCOUNTER. We certainly eflt your good LJPC wishes and prayers with us as we embarked on this Friendship Tour to Canada. 

AND NOW! . . . As we head into Season 66 this Fall, we’re extending a warm, personal invitation especially to you: Plan to spend half a dozen Sunday afternoons with us this year enjoying music you’ll love. We’ve got an amozing lineup in store: You will NOT want to miss it! Plus, your presence and support will be inspiring and gratifying.

Happy Reminders: No charge for admission ever; always free parking; and abundant, genuine LJPC Hospitality. ~ In fact, we invite you to Invite A Friend! We’re looking forward to seeing you here!

Why Support the LJPC Concert Series? A Donor’s Moment with You . . .

LJPC’s sparkling ‘Brilliant Brass’ program is just one of many in the La Jolla Presbyterian Church Concert Series that enrich our community through the universal language of music. We launched this annual Brass program in March 2024 with one local music educator and two brave young musicians participating . . . Center stage, one-on-one, with master musicians. In 2025, the program blossomed to 3 educators and a dozen brass students benefitting from personal coaching by the world-famous Canadian Brass. Imagine the inspiration derived from receiving one-on-one mentoring from your idols!

Your donations to our series not only help keep this tradition alive but also ensure that we can continue to host these inspiring events. . . . And since you asked, “YES! Our plans are already set for February 1, 2026!” We are thrilled to feature yet another world-class ensemble coming to perform in concert and generously share their expertise in a masterclass that’s destined to impact even more students in the LJPC sanctuary.

Each concert like this represents an opportunity to celebrate, remember, and connect—just as we honor memories like those of Peggy Williams Doole whose family sponsored a great part of our initial 2024 Brilliant brass weekend. By contributing, you’re supporting a space for artistic expression and community bonding that echoes through generations.

Join us in making music a pivotal part of our community’s life and legacy.
